Degree explorer: The University of Toronto is preparing to launch its Next Generation Student Information Service's degree planning tool. The administrator functions of the system enable staff to ensure a student meets class prerequisites, or confirm a student has satisfied all requirements needed to graduate. For students, the system notifies them of program completion and tracks exceptions made during the course of their degree. It serves as a central resource to track student's academic progression and supports academic advising. Please see page 3 of the attached newsletter: Degree explorer at UofT

Responsive web site: Also at the University of Alberta, a new beta web site is being tested for user feedback. The new web site will integrate responsive design techniques which means the layout of the site will adjust to the device you are using to view the site. Visitors using smartphones, tablets or desktops will all see a version of the site that is optimized for whatever device they use. Responsively designed beta site
Improving registration performance and capacity: Dalhousie University's Information Technology Services and the Registrar's Office are looking to students for their help in testing the updated course registration system. On January 30, current Dalhousie students are asked to log on to the registration system and complete a test registration. The testing period, meant to simulate actual registration (which opens for returning students in March), will provide valuable insights to Dalhousie’s ITS team about the performance and capacity of the upgraded systems. Test registration
